Top Tim Settle News

  • Commanders' Tim Settle: Not mentioned in injury report

    Settle (calf) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report.

    Settle's omission from the injury report nearly confirms he will be available for the Week 1 opener versus Philadelphia. The 29-year-old agreed to a three-year deal with the Commanders in March after accruing 15 total tackles and 1.0 sacks in 12 regular-season games for the Texans in 2025.

  • Commanders' Tim Settle: Won't play vs. Detroit

    Settle (calf) will not play against the Lions in Saturday's preseason game.

    Settle continues to work through a calf issue that will end up sidelining him for each of the Commanders' first two preseason games. He may be held out of the team's preseason finale against the Ravens on Friday as a precautionary measure to ensure that he's fully healthy for the regular season.

  • Commanders' Tim Settle: Could return to practice Thursday

    Settle is testing his strained calf Wednesday to see if he can be cleared to return to practice Thursday, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.

    Settle has been sidelined for about a week due to the calf issue, but it seems like there's a chance he could get back into action soon. For now, whether he'll be available for Saturday's preseason contest at Detroit is still up in the air.

  • Commanders' Tim Settle: Dealing with calf injury

    Settle (calf) did not participate at the Commanders' training camp practice Wednesday, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.

    Settle suffered a calf strain at practice this week and, as a result, his availability for Friday's preseason opener against the Dolphins now appears to be in doubt. If Settle isn't able to play versus Miami, Jer'Zhan Newton and Charles Omenihu are top candidates to see an increase in workload.

  • Commanders' Tim Settle: Ready for training camp

    Settle (foot) is healthy for the start of Washington's training camp, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.

    Settle is finally recovered from the foot surgery he underwent in December 2025. The 29-year-old signed a three-year contract extension with the Commanders in March and is expected to serve as one of the team's starting defensive ends once again during the upcoming campaign.

  • Commanders' Tim Settle: Reuniting with Washington

    Settle and the Commanders agreed to a three-year contract worth up to $25.5 million Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Settle will reunite with Washington, where he spent the first four years of his NFL career after being selected in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft. The Virginia Tech product spent the last two years in Houston and enjoyed a productive 2024 campaign, but his 2025 season was cut short in early December by a foot injury that required season-ending surgery. Settle will join Daron Payne and Javon Kinlaw on the Commanders' defensive line while flanked by edge rushers Odafe Oweh and Dorance Armstrong (knee).

  • Texans' Tim Settle: Placed on IR, as expected

    Settle (foot) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

    It was reported earlier Thursday that Settle is slated to undergo season-ending foot surgery, so his placement on IR was inevitable. The veteran defensive tackle will conclude the campaign with 15 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, and three passes defensed over 12 games. Settle consistently logged a defensive snap share of around 50 percent prior to being sidelined, so his loss is significant for the Texans' defense.

  • Texans' Tim Settle: Set for season-ending surgery

    Settle (foot) is set to undergo season-ending foot surgery, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Settle will end the 2025 season with 15 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, and three passes defensed through 12 games. The starting defensive tackle's absence the rest of the way will represent a significant loss to a dominant Texans defense. With Settle sidelined, Tommy Togiai is in line to see significantly more defensive snaps for the remainder of the season.

  • Texans' Tim Settle: Career year in 2024

    Settle finished the 2024 regular season with 31 total tackles (24 solo), including 5.0 sacks, while also adding a fumble recovery across 17 games.

    Settle signed a two-year contract with the Texans in March, which turned out to be a good deal for Houston. The defensive tackle secured a career-high 31 total takedowns while matching a career-best 5.0 sacks in 2024. Settle will enter the 2025 campaign with some momentum ahead of a contract year with Houston.
